Donald Trump and his Bobos sneakers
I swear, Donald Trump keeps running that swindle. He thinks that his name alone adds some sort of value or panache to everyday items. Which, of course, explains the popularity of Trump Steaks and Trump Ice Water and Trump Trading Cards and … oh, yeah. “Popularity.” Pfft. Yesterday, Donald Trump introduced his new scam. And…

So after the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory over the Buffalo Bills in last weekend’s playoffs, someone generated this AI image that purports to be Chiefs coach Andy Reid and future ex-wife of Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift – in a bit of a liplock. Awww … how sweet.โI’m sure that will get everybody triggered.โEspecially all those…
Read More88 Minutes in Chinatown in new online art publication!
Back in 2019, I traveled to New York City and put together a photo collage where I mixed two expired films to capture this stirring image, 88 Minutes in Chinatown. The photo did reasonably well for itself during Competition Season 2019, getting on the walls of the New York State Fair Art Center.โBut that was…

Last Saturday, the Town and Village of Green Island was plunged into darkness as a power outage struck the area.โAnd while the neighboring towns of Cohoes and Waterford had their power restored reasonably soon, it wasn’t until nearly 4:00 in the morning when Green Islanders received their repaired electricity.โ GIPA had a planned Town Board…

I understand if you’ve never heard of Da Boogie Man. He was a harness horse who raced a few times at Saratoga – I always thought he had a cool name, and was more than willing to put a few dollars on him. In his career, Da Boogie Man raced 45 times, and scattered 11…
Read MoreThe Nightmare Before Christmas on the Royale With Cheese Movie Club
For those new readers to my blog, the “Royale With Cheese Movie Club” was named due to my finally seeing Pulp Fiction about 20 years after everyone else saw it. Okay, so I was a bit late. But in doing so, I created a subsection on this blog of films that, if I mention the…
